    Hello all! Thank you for all the helpful information. I totally forgot I posted here, I was posting also in Ships Of Scale. I have definitely decided to start with the Model Shipways series. I am a tool guy and plan on stocking up once I am started. I am already thinking of where to put a hobby desk and what to get/build. I’d rather buy a bench. This weekend I will purchase the first ship in the series. I’ll keep all the great ideas in mind. Ty. I’ll be back (to quote Arnold).

    Hello! I am a beginner and want to get involved in this hobby. When I was young my brother and I built a couple ships. I am interested in ship kits rated by skill level. I know it's best to start simple and work upwards. BUT, I have my eye on Chris Craft speed boat models. I love the sleek lines and wood finish. But if this is too advanced I'd like recommendations. I am also looking to put together a hobby desk, nothing fancy as I don't have a lot of room. But the point is I am serious about the hobby, need to fill my time with something productive. Good to be here, TIA!

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
